New in 2006: Triumph Daytona 680 RR

Triathlete

Triumph wants to have a say in top sport in the coming season with a handy and powerful three-cylinder.

Hthereafter one is always smarter. But actually you didn’t have to be a prophet in 2000 to use prog-
indicate that the attempt would fail to defeat the Japanese on their very own territory ?? namely the construction of tall
rotating inline four cylinders ?? to put them in their place. The Triumph TT 600, later renamed the Daytona 600, was at least in the end a decent motorcycle, but certainly not a high-flyer. The later increase in displacement to 650 cm3 did little to change this. The British woman was left behind in every comparison with the Japanese super athletes. On top of that, it lacked its typical Triumph flair, an independent concept.
All of that should change soon. In 2006 the English brought a Daytona with a 680 cm3 three-cylinder. And this time the concept should be radical enough to keep up with the competition from the Honda CBR 600 RR to the 636 Kawasaki. To do this, the extremely short-stroke triple, rotating around 13500 rpm, would have to produce at least 120 hp.
As a reminder: the Daytona four-cylinder with a good 160 cm3 single displacement achieved a nominal 114 hp at just 12500 rpm, the three-cylinder is made up of 225 cm3 units.
In order to improve handling, the hitherto somewhat plump Daytona, weighing over 200 kilograms, will lose a few pounds. Even more important is a stiffer chassis with up-to-date suspension elements. So instead of the conventional fork, a fat upside-down version. The rear wheel is in a huge swing arm, which should bring rigidity and precision to the chassis. Radial bolted brake calipers and a radial pump ensure late braking points.
It is questionable whether the frame looks like it does on the drawing. A filigree construction, typical of Triumph, made of cast aluminum parts and tubes is to be expected. And the front section will also be more distinctive. So much stands
meanwhile, one thing is certain: it is hidden under the stern
Silencer formed from sheet metal parts, from which the three characteristic tailpipes protrude, similar to the Sprint. So that the hissing triple is immediately identifiable visually.
